You scream louder than fiction, and you get down on your knees.

so lately I've been thinking:

I need to get the word "settle" out of my vocabulary. I "settle" for too much, I "settle" for less than I deserve in so many aspects of life. I need to (first of all) find a guy (yes, I did not say boy)that I'm not just settling for, one that meets actual criteria. Not that I am very particular, or even have more than

Wow, some of those "standards" are pretty irritating and shallow. Thought you were, well...not those things.

I'm sorry that you think the fact that I want to date someone because of their brains and not their looks is shallow.

you obviously didn't fit the profile

I think you missed the point entirely. It's not a matter of me not fitting the profile and being insulted and bitter. I DO fit the profile, except,well, I'm a girl ( not an insulted and bitter girl..I have a boyfriend). I wouldn't post as anonymous but opinions of people you know are (seemingly) never taken at face value. I'm trying to covey this as objectively as possible. What I probably should have said was,if those are your standards you're going to have a really hard time finding anything close to a real, beautiful, or otherwise rewarding relationship. Spelling problems?! Some brilliant people can't spell to save their lives-people much smarter than myself and,well,you too. Shorter than you? Ok, that's the "shallow" part I was refering to. I don't understand where this comes from, maybe the days of where a big guy was helpful in mastadon hunting? Maybe from the 50s? "Us girls need a big strong man to protect us and gosh, we're supposed to be the subservient ones!" Maybe it's just a personal prefrence, a matter of base attraction

Lets all be anonymous,it's so uncool to say your name when you're"constructively"criticizing someone

[slappahoe]

Well when you're called "shallow" by someone you might as well have never met, it's nearly impossible to take it at face value.

Yes, because we all know that I am so closed minded to the point of not dating someone because he is shorter than me. THOSE WERE NOT TO BE TAKEN LITERALLY AS A WHOLE, THEY ARE SIMPLY GUIDELINES AS TO WHAT I WOULD TYPICALLY LOOK FOR IN A POTENTIAL BOYFRIEND.
And having a car is only logical because I have never dated someone that has lived in the same city as me, so it would be virtually impossible to hold a relationship with someone if they couldn't come to see you. Duh.

I didn't expect this to be a want-ad, it's simply a personal statement of things I have previously overlooked and should probably hold higher standards to. If you were told by your friends, after pretty much every single guy you've dated, "You can do better", you, too, would start contemplating what you could be a little more particular about when it comes to dating, and look for certain qualities that would improve your chances at
